4am rocking back and forth in the freshly painted room, well not too fresh, Qhuinn wouldn't let me in until the fumes dissipated. My thoughts drifted as I looked around, since my 25th birthday so much had transpired. Qhuinn and I had come back to Caldwell, together, but not as together as we had been on that island. I could tell there was so much he needed to share and all I wanted to do was be there for him. As he told me about his life, the one where his parents always seemed to cast him out I'd hiss, wanting to slap those who didn't see the amazing person I did, upside their head. Qhuinn and I became close, as best friends would. I shared how my father left me and introduced Qhuinn to my life and my twin. The amazing thing was Qhuinn fit so perfectly into my life, but I could tell he was still missing something in his. He tried to please me in every way, when we had our first scare that I might be pregnant he married me in the human way, but he had my twin tattoo my name across his shoulders for his way. In a sense everything was perfect maybe just not completely whole, see when you love someone as much as Qhuinn did it always left a hole in you that could never be filled, but forever could be seen. I was opened to a life I thought only happened in movies, not a love story but one that consisted of darkness...vampires. Anyone could see the love Qhuinn had for me and anyone could also see that wasn't enough, he was missing something. Qhuinn had been through so much and his heart wanted what it wanted, that just happened to be his best friend from when he was young. His nightmares happened like clockwork, the name he breathed while he slept was another's and each time I'd wake him he'd nestle into my arms like a small child just needing to be held, he'd never admit that though. Qhuinn was tough and too strong, awake he'd admit nothing more than wanting to be the protector he was destined to be. All I wanted to do was give Qhuinn the love he so deserved, one where he could love and be loved the way he craved to be, I just wasn't the complete answer. Rubbing my fingers gently over my belly, looking at all the pink in the room it made my lips lift in a genuine smile, we had come such a long way in 15 months, learning each other's every desire, yet we still had so far to go in the next 7. Hopefully in the end Qhuinn could know the love he so desperately deserved. As for me this is what happens when you fall in love with someone who's heart is already claimed by another...your love story goes unwritten. #LoverUnwritten
